The Drifters - Fools Fall In Love

FOOLS FALL IN LOVE
(J. Leiber - M. Stoller)
THE DRIFTERS (Atlantic 1123, 1957)

Well, fools fall in love in a hurry
Fools give their hearts much too soon
Just play them two bars of Stardust
Just hang out one silly moon
Oh-oh! They've got their love torches burning
When they should be playing it cool
I used to laugh but now I understand
Shake the hand of a brand new fool

Well, fools fall in love just like schoolgirls
Blinded by rose colored dreams
They build their castles on wishes
With only rainbows for beams
Oh-oh! They're making plans for the future
When they should be right back at school
I used to laugh but now I understand
Shake the hand of a brand new fool

Oh-oh! They're making plans for the future
When they should be right back at school
I used to laugh but now I understand
Shake the hand of a brand new fool
